FNT Command

FNT Command is a centralized platform for planning, controlling, documenting, and managing enterprise IT, data center, and telecommunications infrastructure. Its digital twin models networks, applications, hardware, and services in a unified data model that captures their relationships and dependencies. The web-based IT Management solution supports multiple clients, languages, and users. Its C base module includes a library of more than 70,000 predefined configuration items, planning and lifecycle management, and standard-format data imports.

Coverage ranges from data center facilities to hardware, software, networking, power, and air conditioning. Cable management documents cable and network infrastructure with end-to-end visibility for fault finding and expansion planning. Role-based dashboards, visualizations, real-time reports, simulations, and dependency maps support analysis. Integrations include REST API access and standard interfaces for systems such as ServiceNow CMDB, Cisco DNA, VMware vCenter, and ticketing APIs. The API supports REST or SOAP services, read queries, and write access. Paid plans are billed annually per user: Asset Inventory costs €99.00 per month, Server & Applications and Telco Network & Services each cost €149.00 per month, Data Center Management costs €199.00 per month, and Cable & Connectivity costs €319.00 per month. A free trial is available.

FNT Command combines infrastructure records with planning, analytics, and dependency views across several resource domains. Its module-based annual pricing and broad scope make it most relevant to organizations with substantial infrastructure management needs.

FNT Command suits organizations managing interconnected IT, data center, or telecommunications assets that need planning, documentation, and lifecycle oversight. The different modules may suit teams focused on inventory, servers, telecom networks, data centers, or cable infrastructure.

FNT Command brings infrastructure planning and records into one web-based environment. It suits organizations coordinating IT, data center and telecommunications resources, especially when teams need to trace dependencies across them. Its scope is substantial, though buying by user and module can add up quickly.

Overview

FNT Command models networks, applications, hardware and services in a unified data model, including the relationships between them. That gives teams a shared view for documenting infrastructure and considering how changes affect connected resources. Its coverage extends across facilities, floor space, IT, data centers, networks, telecommunications, virtual assets, power and cooling.

Demand forecasting and what-if scenarios support both shorter- and longer-range planning. The breadth can help organizations managing interdependent infrastructure across teams; a buyer who only needs a focused inventory or a single-domain tool may not need this scope.

Key features

Records and lifecycle management

The C base module includes a library of more than 70,000 predefined configuration items, planning, accessory and lifecycle management, and imports in standard formats. The Asset Inventory plan adds location management, reports, role and permission controls, and Excel import. Together, these capabilities provide a structured foundation for maintaining infrastructure records, though the per-user plan structure means the right module mix matters.

Data center and cable visibility

Data center coverage spans facilities, hardware, software, networking, power and air conditioning. Cable management tracks cable and network infrastructure with end-to-end visibility for fault finding and expansion planning. This makes FNT Command relevant where physical layouts and connectivity need to be considered alongside IT assets.

Analytics, integrations and governance

Role-based dashboards, advanced visualizations, real-time reports, simulations and dependency maps help teams examine resource status and relationships. The Integration extension lists REST API access and standard interfaces for ServiceNow CMDB, Cisco DNA, VMware vCenter, Nokia NFM-P, Infosim Stablenet and ticketing APIs. The API also supports REST or SOAP web services, read queries and write access, with platform-, language- and protocol-independent integration.

Central documentation, change tracking, version control, permission management and data security support governance. FNT Software lists ISO 27001 certification from April 2024 and TISAX certification from June 2022. Onboarding packages include guided data population, sample data, predefined reporting and access to the FNT Knowledge Hub; project migrations and individual support are available on request.

Pricing

FNT Command is paid software with a free trial and no free plan. Annual billing applies to the listed monthly plan prices, which are per user:

• Asset Inventory: €99 a month, billed annually (€115 regular price). Includes location and lifecycle management, reports, role and permission control, and Excel import. It is the lower-cost entry point for teams focused on asset records.
• Server & Applications: €149 a month, billed annually. Covers physical and virtual servers, application management, and software and license management.
• Telco Network & Services: €149 a month, billed annually. Covers logical connectivity, mobile RAN and leased lines.
• Data Center Management: €199 a month, billed annually. Adds a 2D room editor, 3D visualization, climate circuits and thermal visualization.
• Cable & Connectivity: €319 a month, billed annually. Covers connections, fiber enclosures, trench and duct, power supply and IP management.
• Extensions: custom pricing. Options include Integration, Graphical Visualization, Processes, Infrastructure Health & Monitoring, Mobile App and Viewer.

The cheaper plans focus on particular resource domains; broader coverage may require multiple modules, and the per-user basis makes the total depend on both seats and module selection. No trial length or renewal term is stated.

Platforms

FNT Command is available on Android, iOS, through an API and on the web. The web application supports multiple clients, languages and users. Its deployment model is hybrid.

Who it's for

FNT Command is best suited to organizations that need a common infrastructure model across IT, data centers and telecommunications, with planning and dependency analysis alongside records. More than 500 companies worldwide and almost half of DAX-40 corporations use FNT software. Buyers with a narrower need should weigh whether they will use enough of the domain-specific modules to justify the per-user cost.

Pros and cons

• Pros: A unified model covers a broad range of physical and virtual resources and their dependencies, supporting coordinated planning across domains.
• Pros: The large predefined configuration-item library, lifecycle tools, analytics and integration options support structured records and operational visibility.
• Cons: Per-user annual pricing across multiple modules can make broad deployments costly.
• Cons: Buyers seeking only one focused capacity or inventory function may find the platform's cross-domain scope unnecessary.

Alternatives

For a narrower infrastructure-planning need, IT Capacity Management Software and IT Documentation Software lists can help compare options by category.

• Infovista VistaPlan is another paid option with a broad platform range including Linux, macOS, Windows and self-hosted deployments; its VistaPlan / Planet plan uses custom pricing and requires a demo request.
• ITRS Capacity Planner is a paid alternative with no free plan and support for web, Android, iOS, Linux and Windows.
• Hyperview may suit a buyer who wants a 30-day trial with all features and no credit card, or per-asset pricing; its listed Hyperview plan is $3 a year.
• Sunbird dcTrack is a data center operations alternative with an annual subscription listed at $19.50 a month per cabinet, plus unlimited users, sites and assets.
• EcoStruxure IT offers a paid option with a listed three-year Expert plan for 250 nodes at custom pricing.
• Google Cloud Capacity Planner is a free option with no additional charge for using the planner; Google Cloud resources used with it are billed separately.
• Globberry Capacity Management is another paid alternative.
• Rocket EDX is a paid option with variable-usage or fixed-price subscription pricing.

Verdict

Choose FNT Command when infrastructure teams need to document and plan across connected IT, data center and telecommunications resources in a shared model. Its broad coverage, analytics and dependency views are the main reasons to choose it; the per-user, module-based annual cost is the clearest reason to look elsewhere if your needs are narrow or your team requires only one domain.
